Compared to an aqueous solution, nearly all aromatic substances show small spectral changes of several nanometers in the absorption and emission spectra when they are solubilized by micelles. These shifts are mostly similar to shifts that occur when the solvent polarity is decreased. In principle all shifts can be used for the determination of critical micelle concentrations when spectral changes... 

Several NMR parameters are markedly different in the unimeric and self-assembled states and are therefore possible candidates for characterization of surfactant self-association processes. NMR can be a convenient alternative for the determination of critical micelle concentrations (erne s), but an analysis of variable-concentration NMR data generally also provides additional information. We here describe only how self-diffusion can be used to measure the free unimer concentration in simple and complex surfactant systems. In practice it is an alternative to surfactant-selective electrodes to measure surfactant activities. With a two-state assumption, we have, under the normal rapid exchange conditions [cf Eq. (7)],...

The Reaction of a divalent metal ion M M Mu ) can also be conveniently used as an indicator system for the study of various aspects of micellisation, in particular the determination of critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and rates of micelle formation of anionic surfactants. Before this system can be successfully employed for the study of micellar phenomena, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the indicator reaction itself in aqueous solution in the absence of surfactant.

Patil et al. fabricated PVC electrodes sensitive to dodecyltri-methylammonium ions (DTA" ) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium ions (TTA" ). The electrode was used for determination of critical micelle concentration of TTAB in water. Moreover the electrode was tested in the presence of nonaqueous polar solvents, i.e., dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO).
